Woah ... Ivy Bridge is right around the corner don't go buying a 2500k that's a waste.

$60 bucks gets you an excellent overclocking board that's compatible with everything you have now, offers cross fire support on AMD cards and can max out even a Phenom II x6 at 4ghz, definitely enough for the 955. Your systems is plenty fast, you'll max it out with this board and get yourself USB 3.0 in the process.

You'd probably be able to sell your current motherboard and end up spending about $40 bucks? No reason at all to go all out here just do a small swap and you've got some new legs until Ivy shows up.

The 3500K is 5% faster then a 2500K. Calling the 2500K a waste is ludicrous
